Education and Sustainable Development Goals
In order to improve the standard of living for future generations, sustainable development—the UN’s overarching paradigm—seeks to develop environmental, social, and economic goals in a balanced manner. To maintain the well-being of both humanity and the planet, the United Nations General Assembly’s 70th session outlined 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a framework for future global development from 2015 to 2030 after the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) expired.

Ideological Evolution of ‘Health First’ in Chinese School
Strengthening school physical education (PE) is of great strategic significance in enhancing students’ all-round development, which mainly includes their morality, intelligence and physique development. School PE has upheld the guiding ideology of ‘health first’ and continuously enhanced PE development in China. The guiding ideology of ‘health first’ has involved three stages: (1) improving students’ physical conditions; (2) enhancing students’ physical health, mental health and ability to socially adapt; and (3) promoting students’ all-round human development.

Psychology of Education
The relationship between intelligence and education is one that scientists have been studying for years. It is correct to say that higher level of education leads to greater level of intelligence and also true the other way around, however, it does not apply for every situation. A study done in Germany proved how education did affect the intelligence of students and proof of intelligence affecting education was seen in the military, where people with lesser intelligence were observed to have a slower learning speed and benefited less from education. Typically if maternal and paternal IQ is high, it is very likely for the child to have a high IQ as well. A study conducted by Plug and Vijverberg showed that the environment that a child grows up in also affects his or her future academic performance. The children that were raised by their biological parents had a greater similarity in terms of intelligence and academic performance to their families than those raised by foster parents. Another study was conducted by Campbell and Ramey to test the socioeconomic effect on intelligence and it showed promising results for children at high risk of academic failure when there was an early intervention.

Intelligent Augmented Reality for Learning Geometry
Learning geometry helps students develop their logical reasoning ability, which implies analyzing and elaborating arguments about spatial forms, shapes, and abstract math concepts. However, geometry tends to be abstract, and many students encounter difficulties and show poor performance. To improve students’ geometrical reasoning abilities, learning activities should keep the motivation and adaptation to their knowledge and psychological conditions.

Learning Styles and English Classroom Anxiety
As an important affective and psychological factor, foreign language anxiety (FLA) has been much examined in second/foreign language (SL/FL) learning. Research shows that it is not only consistently negatively related to SL/FL learning outcomes measured in varying forms but also interacts with many other linguistic, educational, psychological, individual and affective factors. Mixed findings are often found about FLA and two important individual factors—gender and discipline, which might be due to different samples sizes and methods used in the studies.

Teacher Resilience and Coping with Teacher Stress
The concept of human resilience points to the indicators of life adaptation, including the field of work. In the context of the teaching profession, it can be assumed that resilience as an individual’s characteristic can have a significant impact on a teacher’s career path and can contribute to the decision of whether to leave the teaching profession or to remain in the school system despite the presence of a whole range of stressors. Resilience is important also from the aspect of coping with demanding tasks and fulfilling the requirements asked of teachers in such complex organizations as schools undeniably are. Resilient teachers are able to take advantage of their individual characteristics, as well as of the occurring situations, in order to deal with challenges and to achieve professional/job satisfaction contributing to their well-being.

Inclusive Education and Home-Schooling
There has been strong movement internationally towards inclusive education. As part of this movement, researchers and practitioners have examined the structures and practices of schools to attempt to determine the most appropriate environment and pedagogies to support the needs of all learners. This examination has resulted in a range of approaches being adopted by systems and schools to ensure that the needs of all learners are being met. At the same time there has been a noticeable increase in the number of parents of learners with additional learning needs choosing to home school their child.

Teaching Life Skills in PE within Different Traditions
The interest in life skills development through sport and physical education (PE) has been perceptible for the past. Life skills have been defined by the World Health Organisation as “abilities for adaptative and positive behaviour, that enable individuals to deal effectively with the demands and challenges of everyday life”and paired to reveal five main life skills “areas”: decision making—problem solving; creative thinking—critical thinking; communication—interpersonal relationships; self-awareness—empathy; coping with emotions—coping with stress.

Challenging The Mobile Learning Paradigm
The established mobile learning paradigm is now two decades old; it grew out of the visions and resources of e-learning research communities in universities in the world’s more economically developed regions. Whilst it has clearly been able to demonstrate many practical, pedagogic and conceptual achievements, it is now running out of steam. It has failed to adapt to a world where mobile technologies are pervasive, ubiquitous and intrusive and where people and communities can now own their own learning. This paper looks at the evolution of the established mobile learning paradigm and explores the current global, demographic, social and technical environment in order to develop a new paradigm more suited to the changed and changing realities and priorities. This is mobile learning2.0.

Motivation and Passion for Research in E-Learning
The advent of the distance education system was a direct response to the challenges brought forth by the information and knowledge revolution in the modern era. To overcome the constraints of time and location, contemporary techniques and tools such as e-learning and digital technology are being employed in university education for conveying information to students. The effectiveness of this approach is contingent upon the design of the technological educational environment and the consideration given to its fundamental components. Additionally, a multitude of studies have emphasized the urgent need for interactive learning environments that actively engage students, foster their motivation to persist in learning, and augment their ability to apply the acquired knowledge in real-life situations.

Japanese Special Moras Education Using Evernote
One of the issues often raised in Japanese phonetics classes is special moras. Special moras are different entities to single moras, but closely resemble them, which causes non-native speakers to experience problems when learning Japanese. Kitamura highlighted that it is difficult for students to pronounce special moras correctly.

Remote and Blended Teacher Education
Remote teacher education is any mode other than face-to-face education, typically but not necessarily conducted online (i.e., using computers, tablet devices, smart phones and other web-based technologies). Blended teacher education is a combination of face-to-face and remote education in any proportion.

Recruiting Doctoral Students: Getting It Right for All Involved
This entry explores the different ways in which students are accepted onto doctoral degrees such as PhDs and professional doctorates. The processes involved are referred to in this entry, and in much of the policy-related and research-informed literature, as “recruitment and selection”. These processes are worthy of attention given that they are high stakes for students themselves, those who guide and advise them, known as academic “supervisors”, and for academic communities more broadly. The entry acknowledges that recruitment and selection processes differ between institutions and across geographical contexts. The entry draws upon research studies and policy documents which relate to recruitment and selection practices from local, national and international contexts.
